Holiday sales the past few years have been pretty hit or miss. Before covid I feel like the sales were better. Interestingly, I noticed Williams Sonoma dropping prices on Staub around Christmas (I mean like, right before Dec 25th and the week between Christmas and New Years) so you have to keep your eyes peeled. Not sure what it will be like this year though. Zwilling used to do the 4 qt cocottes with the iron lids for $99 on black Friday. But I think last year it was glass lids and they were like $129 or something. As far as 7 quarts go, I'd say if you see a decent deal somewhere, jump on it because they're a popular workhorse size. Like the Amazon deal you saw for $220 would have been what I'd consider a good price for that pot. I paid full price for mine but have no regrets. Answer from La_Croix_Life on reddit.com
